Take a peak under the hood at the most complicated object in the known universe by enrolling in a neuroscience summer program. The brain is an endless opportunity for research and discovery, making it a draw for many students taking the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) educational path. Tackle perception, decision-making, neuroethics, neurotechnology, and many other topics. Pre-college students learn the fundamentals of brain biology and chemistry, including the functioning of the central nervous system and how the development of the brain affects physiology, emotion and cognition. These summer programs, offered as residential and commuter camps and college campus sessions, can lay the foundation for future study or careers in medicine, biology, biomedical science, psychology, pharmaceutical science and more.
